Wheels on the Bus is a very clever, very entertaining app for kids. Each screen shows a different part of the song, "The Wheels on the Bus". Touch the arrows on the bottom right and left of the screen to move forward or backward in the song. Touch the screen and slide your finger around [...]

Illness Tracker is a perfect app for a mom’s iPhone. It lets you keep track of who’s been sick, how long they’ve been feeling icky, when you’ve taken them to the doctor and why, along with other illness information. The first thing you’ll want to do is touch the "People" button at the bottom of [...]

Hip Hip Hooray! I could end this review right now because the Kindle app just put a whole lot of "Hooray" into my iPhone.  I’ve never been the least bit curious about Amazon.com’s Kindle. I like the feel of a book in my hand and being able to turn actual pages. Still, I was intrigued [...]

  Last night I mentioned to the techy husband that I was going to download some ringtones from the iTunes store. He about had a heart attack because apparently there’s a way to make your own ringtones for free. He walked me through the process and I was able to do it by myself! Happy [...]

Yahtzee has come to the iPhone – hooray! This is another great game to play when you’ve got some time to kill. I like to play in the car when I’m sitting somewhere waiting for my kiddos. You can play in Adventure or regular game mode. Adventure has you playing against characters and you’re on [...]

Ambiance is another white noise app for your iPhone. The screen is simpler than aSleep and takes you directly to your sounds. They’ve got a nice variety of noises including light saber and snoring. No joke. To use Ambiance you roll the sound wheel until the sound you like is highlighted and then touch the [...]

aSleep lets you use your iPhone as a source of white noise if you’re having trouble falling asleep, or maybe you’re just in the mood for white noise. When you open the app you’ll see a screen with several buttons and some cute sheep. Touch “Timer” to set how long you want the noise to [...]

This app review is a guest post from iPhone Grandma. She tipped me (go ahead, you know you want to laugh) off to this handy little app. iPhone Grandma says: When we have stayed at hotels that use bellhops and porters we can never remember what to tip. While iPhone Grandpa is trying to convince [...]
